2 hand projects going – a crochet project I keep quarter-finishing and unraveling + a beading skill I’m working on.

Korean BBQ Restaurant Salad

This is my stab at re-creating (and enhancing) the table salad served at my favorite local Korean BBQ joint. Every time I see this salad I get excited about blueberries, so I added them to mine. I also added a splash of vinegar. Delicious.

Hi, creeper

It’s so hot – 110F at 10am – these dudes don’t want to be on the ground. I can’t say I blame them. 🥵

Tarragon Chicken Pita

This is a nice and light chicken salad – perfect tucked inside a pita or scooped up with cucumber rounds.

gluten-free, paleo-ish

Tarragon Chicken Pita

2/3 – 1 cup pulled rotisserie chicken, chopped

2tsp – 1Tbsp tarragon mustard

2-3Tbsp pickled onion, chopped

Enough mayo to bind your ingredients together

1/2 small shallot, diced

2tsp fruity vinegar

3Tbsp slivered almonds or pine nuts

Arugula

Your favorite kind of pita as a vessel for serving – or just in a bowl with cucumber rounds for scooping

Mix everything but the arugula & pita. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve as desired.

Makes enough for 2 people if they have normal sized pitas; I wolfed the entire batch down because I was starving and my pitas are Middle-East sized.
